Session 20 - April 6, 2020

The group is awakened by a loud blast. Two Yuan-Ti ships are approaching the shore of Yallowtail. They head outside The Pearl to see a Half-elf and a half-orc standing on the shore, crouched over a small vessel. The further of the two ships is aflame and sinking. The nearer one begins to turn and fires a ballistae and hits the side of The Pearl. Shep wildshapes into a plesiosaurus, Jehnor gets on his back, Stitch attaches himself to his belly and they head out to sea. They approach the ship, attack, and board. After a long battle, the Yuan-Ti are defeated. The group pulls the ship to shore. They head into The Pearl for a drink. Jehnor mends the damage the tavern sustained from the ballistae. The group shares a drink with the locals. The half-orc, Germish is from Eventod. The Half-elf is Colbin, an alchemist from the mage’s college. They tell the group about a legend that speaks of an ancient giant called Stromblaast who is said to be awakened at the end of the world. There is evidence that he may have in fact been awakened. They also explain that the 99 barrels of powder found on the ship (one of which Stitch put in his bag of holding) is saltpeter. A highly explosive substance distilled from bat droppings.

Colbin and Jehnor discuss the mage’s college. Jehnor explains that he left because their focus was largely theoretical and they seemed somewhat detached from the real world.

Colbin asks the group about the pillars. He assumed they were always just legend. He recommends they check out the mage’s college for more info. Specifically the dwarven cleric, Fegrist, in the library.

The Liberators decide to head to the mage’s college. Colin shows them a map with the easiest route. After a good night’s sleep they set out.

That evening, the group crosses a bridge and is surprised by a giant monster. They use the terrain to their advantage and dispatch the creature.
